A great restaurant for delectable steaks and a wonderful selection of wines!
We would definitely recommend the 14oz ribeye with maple cured bacon topping and the honey roasted pork!
They also serve a variety of puddings but we went for the creme brulee which did not disappoint at all!
We predict that the ratings for this place are going to soar soon! Definitely 5stars!!!
I thought I had booked 26th Feb and didn’t find out until we arrived at the restaurant I had accidently booked 26th March instead. As my husband is disabled and it takes a lot of effort for him to get ready and get around I was feeling terrible! The restaurant staff were absolutely fantastic and let us sit down while they sorted out changing the date in the system to accommodate us. They did this very quickly and efficiently , thank you so so much.
We had a voucher from are daughters for our wedding anniversary as they know how much we like this restaurant.
When we were shown the menu we were offered a upgrade to Champagne for free on the normal choice of 3 cocktails as we are repeat customers & the Champagne was lovely while we decided what to have. We chose our starters and mains and paid the reasonable supplement of £10.50 for a fillet steak and again for the house fries each and we shared some onion rings ( my husband’s favourite). The starters and mains were delicious, the steak was indeed melt in the mouth. Now my favourite part of any meal the sweet, I was very happy to see the crème brulee on the menu as that’s my fav & my husband had the special of tiramisu. We followed our sweet with a cappuccino each before paying the bill of £58.00 Inc. service charge which even adding the cost of the voucher I think is very reasonable for a lovely meal out.
The service was brilliant as it has been on all previous occasions , when you read a lot of the reviews about this restaurant I think to myself our they going to the same place as me! I didn’t feel that we were treated any differently because we had a voucher and in fact I didn’t see anyone in the restaurant at the time we were there not having the set menu.
We purchased a special voucher for my Sister in law for her 25th Wedding anniversary and they are going next Saturday night for dinner so I hope they enjoy it as much as we do as we have raved about the restaurant to them.
Ask most people in London about quality steak restaurants and, assuming you don’t get a blank expression, the responses are likely to be Hawksmoor, Goodman or maybe Flat Iron. Well, now, we can add London Steak Co. to that list. Of course, there are hundreds of establishments across London that have steak on the menu – from the distressed leather and fries you get in some pubs through to the hand reared, grass fed, gently cuddled cut of finest sirloin and thrice cooked chips found in the top restaurants. But few restaurants truly attempt to specialise in steak compared to the number that try to do so in Pan-Asian or Indian Cuisine for example.
The prawn cocktail was an excellent appetiser. It was extremely refreshing and got my taste buds going. Braced me perfectly for what was next.
Moving on, the tuna was tastefully done but personally, I couldn't finish the whole portion.
The giant onion rings were a major highlight. So light and crisp and beautifully fried. Probably one of the best rings I've had in my life.
The dessert, I think was called the summer pudding was presented amazingly well. The vibrant colours made me want to dig in. Ended my meal on a definite high note.
Best Steak Meal. Lovely Saturday evening out with friends. My god it was busy though, totally full from when we arrived for our table at 7pm right through until we left the bar at 11.15pm.
Service never faltered and the staff were excellent - also great food. The best steaks we have had in London so far.
Dessert was amazing too - we had the choc truffle to share.
Highly recommend but be sure to book well in advance, we made our reservation at the start of Jan for the 7th of Feb and could only get a table of 4 at 7pm.
Brilliant. Loved this place, great steaks, very good service and wonderful atmosphere. You get what you pay for but it was well worth the money.
Marco has a money making factory on his hands.
When you're stressed, you develop a few bad habits. You give in to things, you wouldn't normally give in to. You do bad things. Sinful things. Like this... Spending too much £££ on a hunk of meat to soothe your wounded soul for that evening. Does it make you feel better for those 10minutes? Yes. Do you feel a little dirty afterwards? Yes....
Came here last night and was so impressed with the service and quality of the food. They have a great selection of wines and naturally I had to order the steak, the fat was melt in your mouth and the meat cooked to perfection. I had the fluffiest and lightest cheese cake I've ever had in my life. Will definitely be returning.

Since I do plenty of research before choosing a restaurant in a city I am visiting, I am usually not disappointed in my selection. Again, I made a very wise decision! The food was outstanding!! I love to try food that I can't get near my hometown or food that I can't or won't make for myself. I tried the goat Carpaccio with smoked trout roe (which was almost like a frisee salad), the roasted cauliflower with pine nuts and mint (had an outdoor grilled flavor and the mint just gave it an almost lightly grassy taste), and the duck tongue with tuna and black bean poke (also similar to a salad--crispy tongues, cool tuna chunks in a citrusy dressing). Everything was fantastic. The menu is designed for sharing, so plan on ordering a few items to split between your groups. The more in the party the more you get to try! The service was great and the staffs were knowledgeable. One thing you should know is that if you try to get reservations online, you might have to wait a long time to get in since this is a very popular restaurant. I called the restaurant directly and was able to procure a table for the date we desired. I did have to go a little later than I preferred, but still was able to get the reservation we wanted. This is not a restaurant for non-meat eaters or non-adventurous eaters. Don't try to bring those people, there really won't be anything for them--even the deserts and bread are "special."
As I walked into Marco Pierre White’s Steakhouse I did chuckle, but in a good way. The décor is slap in your face 1980’s pastiche, it’s somewhere any self respecting yuppie would have felt right at home. In fact the only way I could think of making the place look anymore like a Wall Street set would be to add a few carefully positioned bowls of potpourri.
It lives up to Mrs Thatcher’s promise of a better world too as the place is immaculate, cutlery and glassware polished to a tee and the service was impeccable.
The steaks are the focus of the menu (natch) but my usual choice of rib eye had unfortunately run out, so I ended up with my back-up of fillet. And what a fine, flavourful steak it was too, it’s in situations like this I wonder whether to thank the chef or the farmer for delivering such an excellent cut of beef to my table. A bullseye medium-rare, with no real charring on the outside but enough caramelisation to enhance the flavour of the fillet. If Goldilocks where to come here she certainly wouldn’t have anything to complain about as the seasoning was not too little, not too much, but just right.
I ordered my fillet with the Café de Paris sauce which was a nice take on this classic. I did quiz the waiter about the ingredients but he kept schtum.
OK the steaks are a little on the pricy side but you get what you pay for and remember this is the 1980’s after all!
At £4 a go the sides however are good value and all work well with your meaty main. The creamed potatoes were wonderful, as was the Savoy cabbage with lardons. Roasted seasonal vegetables were complimented by a lovely sweet honey glaze. The onion rings were well executed too even if they really were just, meh, onion rings.
All of this was washed down with a rather good bottle of Syrah and finished with a simple but very well formed cheese plate.
Feeling full, pampered and a little ostentatious I was ready to leave. Now where are the keys to my Golf GTI?
I don't understand why the rating for this restaurant is quite low. Its actually pretty decent. I am impressed and would go again. Feel free to see pics (medium well steak I asked for and that's what I got)
We did a Buy a gift experience for two, so was a set menu which came with a prosecco drink. It would be better to ask if anyone would prefer non alcoholic drinks instead. We weren't asked a preference. Very disappointed with the small restaurant and uncomfortable chairs. Server's kept banging into our chairs as no room so off putting. Food was OK nothing to different than a Weatherspoons offering however. Plus a bit out of the way. Disappointing as we've been to other locations and had better experiences.
We visited the restaurant for a 3 course meal with bottomless prosecco on a Thursday evening at 5pm. Whilst we had to wait 10 minutes to be seated as they weren't officially open yet, the staff we very attentive once they started service and the food, oh my goodness. Portion sizes were just right and the food was SO tasty, it was cooked well, served hot and we didn't have to wait long in between courses either. Our bottomless prosecco was topped up quickly for the full 90 minutes too. The whole experience was lovely and whilst the outside of the restaurant could be prettier, don't let that put you off, it's well worth it 😁. A side note, it doesn't say on the menu but the wings are hot!!
Service was a little slow, arrived 30mis early so ordered drinks at the bar 26mins from order to serve, 3 mocktails and a lager (which was a bit warm having sat at the bar for 20mins) mains were good really tasty just a shame the service was a bit lacking waited 20mins to get the bill
We went here as part of a voucher along with the View from the Shard. After reading reviews, we were a bit concerned but couldn't have had a more different experience to the poor reviews on here.
The food choices were good and food was tasty. The thing that made our evening was the staff. They were incredibly polite, welcoming, kind and went above and beyond with our 11 month old baby. They were just excellent!
We purchased this experience on buyagift.
James was great, he made our experience special. His service was second to none; he was very knowledgeable on the menu and the selection of teas. He was also able to cater to allergens very flexibly. I would definitely come back and would recommend this to all of my friends because of his expertise.
The only downside to this was that we had to book a few months in advance, but it was worth it.
Very nice place. Staff was nice. I too my sister for her birthday. They sang happy birthday to her and wrote on her desert plate happy birthday which was nice. The food was very nice. The restaurant was part of a hotel which for me was ok but I wanted a restaurant. It was still very nice.
Did the biy a gift 3 course meal, surprised that the portions were bigger than expected, good food quality and excellent waiting staff! Couldn't do enough for us, very attentive, bit pricey for drinks but I'm guessing that's just London in general amd optional extras adds up.
We came here for the three course meal.
The service was excellent and the staff were nice.The ambience was average but the food was delicious.
